QUOTE (soxsider11 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 01:21 AM) Raining in beverly Are those beautiful mansions in jeopardy? My aunt lived on Longwood Drive; beautiful house. Big backyard.

Line out to center. Let it rain (only if it wipes out the game). Mark will be done if there's a rain delay and it's too early for our s***ty middle relief to take over.

Two outs. Nobody on in the fifth; sox up, 2-1

Pena solo homer, 2-1. Stranding those runners, as usual, starting to look ominous.

Little pop to Omar. He had to hustle to get it. One out.

What inning do the Cubs start to show some life? Five? Six? Seven? Never?

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 01:10 AM) No, it isn't. Is batting him behind Konerko necessary? No. He's a ninth place hitter if I ever saw one.

AJ with a s***ty roller to short, nice barehand pick up, slow AJ is out despite hustling. Inning over. Bad bad inning.

Sox get a runner on second with none out and u just kind of expect the runner to stay there.

Dunn needed to move the runner over for us to have a chance to score this inning.

Alexei strikes out. Fail. Man on second two out.

If we don't score Paulie here, I predict we ultimately lose the game. Big run here.

When Dunn strikes out, there should be a promotion where the bat boy rips up money and litters the field with it.

Dunn whiffs again. He needs a stint in the minors. He just does.

Paulie doubles to left. Beautiful stroke. He's an all star. Dunn up ... LOL

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 12:59 AM) its a nice way to pick up a run in the bottom of the 9th in a tie game. in the third, in that situation, it is a wasted out and a wasted opportunity You seriously preferred Juan swinging?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 12:58 AM) Greg is right. Since Juan is an automatic out, we might as well force his out to be productive. I mean, the chances of him scoring a run with a full swing are pretty astronomical. Exactly. I hate Juan like the rest of you, but I give him his props there. It was the right use of Juan. Omar and CQ deserve some blame, not the bunt.

Mark K's Soto swinging, again like the true pro Mark is. Two out doubles mean little against Mr. B.

Ramirez ropes a 2-out 2B to left. Hopefully Mark can hunker down and get out of it. It was a shot to left field corner.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) It's sad that we have to resort to squeeze plays in the third inning. You guys are nuts. It was a nice way to pick up a run. If Juan has to play, it was good use of Juan.

Great play by oldie Omar to his right, excellent play, throws out Castro. One out. Baker a shot to center. Decent read by Rios. Two out.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 12:52 AM) Excelling is hitting a double into the gap. We had 1st and 3rd with no outs. It became a one run inning. It could of been more. Yes it could have. But he got one run in at least. If Omar and CQ coulda hit we might have had a party.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 12:51 AM) 1st and 3rd with no outs an NL 2.0 gives up an out on a squeeze. This is why crooked numbers are hard to come by with our team. We have to overcome our handicap. CQ lousy at bat, ground out to third. Only one run thanks to the bunt.

I hate it when people still b**** when Juan does something great. Why b****? He excelled there???

Pierre bunts first pitch, nice bunt run scores; Juan barely out. Safety squeeze. 2-0 Sox.
